About this session
Throughout 2025 grassroots practitioners of Doughnut Economics from around the world have been connecting online every month, to offer and seek support, solidarity and community to help nurture our individual and collective practice.
This global community has emerged from GDD 2023 and GDD 2024, and our monthly rhythm of connection has helped us deepen our relationships of trust such that exciting things are emerging.
This session is a GDD special version of our monthly grassroots global connections, where we will hear an overview of this collective work and the experiences from members of this global community in their local-global work.
This session will include BSL interpreting.
This is session two of two.

Hi, I'm Anni. I am from Germany and now live on Vancouver Island, Canada. I studied Social Innovation at Breda University of Applied Sciences and currently work as the Living Systems Coordinator at the Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation. I joined the Doughnut Economics Action Lab to both learn from others and to share my personal journey as we launch the Living Systems Program in Nanaimo — the first and only city in North America to adopt Doughnut Economics. Our goal is to bing the principles from City Hall into the streets.
